Eddie Jones refuses to panic after loss to Pumas

England boss Eddie Jones is refusing to push any panic buttons in the wake of England’s loss to Argentina at Twickenham over the weekend.
Los Pumas pulled out all the stops on the road to their 1-point victory – an effort which England found difficult to contain – but Jones has opted for calm moving forward.
“The World Cup is 11 months away and a lot happens in 11 months. As a lot can happen in a week,” Jones said.
“I’m not sitting here thinking we’ve got really strong problems within the team. For the most part I thought we dominated the game.
“If we didn’t, then I might be thinking people have good rights to get stuck into us and then we’d have a bit of a fight.
“But we made some silly mistakes and we can change those things pretty easily. They’re all controllable. There are no real, big, structural issues within our game.
“It’s a great opportunity for us now because we’re under the pump a bit which is good and I think we’ll respond really well to that. I’m looking forward to it.”
England’s next challenge sees them face Japan on Saturday.
